Editorial Reviews
Review
“The co-founders of human resources software firm Greenhouse Software make a strong case for systematizing talent acquisition.... Their fervent belief that senior executives need to be more engaged in the staffing process, rather than simply delegate it to human resources, is the cornerstone of their approach, which aims to help readers to identify, attract, and retain the best talent.... A forward-thinking and enlightening view of hiring practices.” ―Kirkus Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Despite its central importance to company success, hiring continues to be one of the most frequently mismanaged and undervalued areas in many organizations. Chaos and frustration are often the norm, and unconscious bias in the hiring process impacts decisions. As a result, many organizations are unable to attract the talent they need to be competitive.
In Talent Makers: How the Best Organizations Win through Structured and Inclusive Hiring, the co-founders of Greenhouse Software, Inc., Daniel Chait and Jon Stross, deliver a comprehensive and proven framework to improve hiring quickly, substantially, and measurably. The book offers readers a complete plan for building winning teams and provides the playbook to make it happen supported by real-world examples. You'll discover how to assess your Hiring Maturity along a clear spectrum. You'll then discover how to quantify the lifetime value of your employees, structure your hiring systems to challenge bias, and transform your talent practice into a competitive advantage.
The concrete strategies and practical advice contained in Talent Makers is based on the authors' experience serving over 4,000 organizations. This is the book that CEOs, leaders, hiring managers, and talent practitioners must read to transform their hiring and propel their organization to new heights.
From the Back Cover
Praise for Talent Makers
"Once you have something, nothing else really matters but the team you build. Your company is not your product, or even your customers. It's your team. Daniel and Jon have been the single most innovative leaders in hiring in business software, leaning in very early on and bringing the sort of powers to find, manage, and empower talent to every business...that used to just be reserved for the elite in tech. If you want to read one single 'business book' on how to win, it should be one about great teams. Read Talent Makers."
―Jason Lemkin, Investor, Business Partner, Founder and CEO of SaaStr and SaaStr Fund
"In this thoughtful, research-backed book, Dan and Jon provide a compelling framework and data-driven tools for leaders who increasingly realize the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion and want actionable strategies for bringing about change. Talent Makers maps out the path to more fair hiring practices that block implicit biases and allows companies to become better at hiring.
―Shelley Correll, Professor of Sociology and, by courtesy, Organizational Behavior, Stanford University
"While there are many paths a company can take to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion, they must all begin with getting hiring right. In Talent Makers, Daniel Chait and Jon Stross break down the steps to build an effective hiring culture that attracts top talent, reduces bias in hiring decisions, and creates more opportunities for candidates from diverse backgrounds."
―Jon Winkelried, Co-CEO of TPG

I found out about this book because I have considered using Greenhouse as a hiring platform. So far I've used Workable, which is fine, but not great. I was actually quite impressed with the Greenhouse demo. That said, after reading this book, I feel less impressed.
This is a book for big corporations that haven't thought much about hiring. Are you an entrepreneur thinking about how to get hiring right from the beginning? This book won't be much help for you? Are you in the Web3 space? Also won't be that useful. Do you run a grassroots non-profit? Look somewhere else.
The authors of this book outline a hiring process that they've developed that works well when you're hiring many people into the same role over time—like employees at Whole Foods for example. There's cheese, there's produce, there's bulk goods; but needs don't really change from hire to hire or store to store.
This book teaches you a way of hiring, rather than showing you how you might think about hiring in-general. It is not a guide to developing your own hiring process.
My second big issue with this book is that the title is entirely misleading. What does the term "talent maker" mean to you? It speaks of a developmental process. People join your organization and grow, develop, mature, evolve. What management and leadership styles are conducive to working with anyone (not just "A players"), in a way that supports their development? Well, turns out this book spends no time discussing this subject, even though it is the title of the book. This book is much more about "talent finding" than talent making.
Lastly, the book is written by two middle-aged white men. The subtitle talks about "inclusivity," and the book discusses Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion a bit. That said, it is just a surface-level treatment of the subject. If they were serious about the topic, they would have brought in a co-author with an identity that brings them closer to these issues.
